How accurate is this info? At AUTEC they have 2 B1900 but painted in AUTEC scheme. AUTEC also has 2 helo's they keep at PBI in their own hangar. Those B1900's don't move unless for AUTEC flights you would think as a "smarter" airline business plan to not let those 2 planes just sit and waste away money.
Not saying it's not possible since we all know how spectacular GIA is.

Your not getting anywhere in this industry simply by emailing/faxing a resume and waiting for the job. Be proactive, make the phone call. I'm not trying to sound like an *********, but you'll be waiting forever if you dont do it. Hope this helps.

No you are not sounding like an *********, I couldn't agree more. I actually spoke to the recruiter briefly as he answered the phone the 3rd time I called the day i faxed the resume over. We talked very briefly about my resume and he said he would call me back the next time he was in the office. I then called yesterday to follow up and left a message. then today I called again. I get the persistence thing believe me I do. I was just trying to find out how long people were waiting from fax sent to invite for interview happened. Thanks for the info and maybe I will see you there someday soon!

No worries. I thought you were trying to call the HR number, because everytime I called, I got some foreign women's voicemail who reminded me of this commercial: Discover Card "My name is Peggy" 2010 Commercial - YouTube
I guess I just got lucky. I dont remember exactly what date but I emailed my resume around 5pm, at 5:01 I got a kickback email saying it was denied. 5:02 I then emailed the @aol.com contact on the website. 5:05 I got a call from the recruiter to setup the interview. However, this was when the opening first came out about 3 weeks- 1 month ago..

Well at noon yesterday, they said my background check cleared, (I disclosed my DUI from the get go), and to stop by the office to pick up my ID. Then this morning the VP calls and said they have to rescind the job offer because not enough time has passed, 5 years.

So why did they make me miss work, buy a ticket, and put in my notice when they could of just not interviewed me when they saw my DUI on the application or said no two weeks ago when I disclosed it to the chief pilot.

Its a good opportunity, and hopefully the company is turning around, but how they handled this sucks.

It also could have been the best thing that happened to you, however you won't know until years from now.

Granted, they were already flying for an airline prior to the DUI. It sounds like 121 flying is not going to happen for you until 5 years has passed.

My problem hasnt been the Dui as much as its been not being able to go to Canada because of it. Why GIA cares, I dont know. Pretty disappointing, especially after they knew about it and said yes, but whatever, Ill find another way.

They fly out of Cleveland for Continental/United, they might serve some small Canadian city that can't justify our Dashes?

Got the call back from the recruiter for an interview date. Scheduled for 2:30p at sheltair. What time did you guys arrive to be early? I am sure there is some fun paper work to fill. Do they allow you to fill the paper work before your interview time to be ready? Seems like its in a suite at sheltair, is there someone there to greet you in the suite or signage at least? Just want to cover my all my bases and be early, in the right place with everything filled and ready to go.
